Well I must say that video plays on my 4150 amazingly well. I was very impressed when I first saw a 500kbps divx playing at 30fps without skipping a frame. The picture quality was astounding.
No need for extra CPU power in this department as far as I am concerned.
I was very reluctant to get the 4150 rather than the X30 high as I wondered if I would regret not getting the extra CPU power. I had never bought or used a PDA before so didnt know what the difference would be.
Now my opinion is that the extra CPU is redundant (at least for me). As I said emulation maybe but otherwise its pointless.
The other reason why for video the higher CPU is pointless is for 2 reasons :
1. The bitrate the 4150 can handle means beautiful picture quality - more bitrate would be pointless.
2. Higher bitrate would mean larger file size anyway needing more space on SD card (limited in capacity as it is) for no real advantage in picture quality.
I have been converting my DVDs to Divx for years to play on my laptop, Xbox, Kiss player and I am very hard to please when it comes to picture quality. The 4150 can even please me in this department so it must be good
